The doctors reminded that if a situation of accidental ingestion of a foreign object occurs and does not cause respiratory obstruction (such as lips turning purple, choking or breathlessness), patients do not need to panic excessively. Do not rush to stimulate the throat or use medication to induce vomiting, so as not to send the foreign object into the trachea and increase the risk.
For most gastrointestinal foreign objects, they can be removed by digestive endoscopy. Citizens should seek medical attention nearby in a timely manner and undergo imaging examinations to determine the position of the foreign object and decide on the appropriate treatment plan.
If a child is found to have ingested a foreign object, do not induce vomiting or consume other food on your own. Seek medical attention as soon as possible to remove the foreign object in a timely manner to prevent the occurrence of complications. This is crucial for preventing subsequent problems.
